Manuel Pellegrini praises "fantastic" Manchester City

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini says that his side are playing "fantastic football" following their 4-2 win over Cardiff City.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has praised his side following their 4-2 win over Cardiff City.

City kept up their winning run at the Etihad Stadium this season to maintain their title challenge, and Pellegrini has claimed that he is pleased with their current form.

"Maybe I am not 100% happy because we conceded the second goal in the last minute. But we scored four and missed five or six clear chances so if we continue to play like we are, we are always going to score more than we concede," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"We are playing fantastic football at the moment. We play with fantastic intensity and that is how we must continue. The best way to play is the way we are playing now.

"I know it is easier to go back with 10 players in our box and try and have a couple of counter attacks, but that is not my way, it is not the style I think this club wants."

City are currently second in the Premier League table.
